Welcome to Camden, New Jersey, where the new superintendent of schools recently announced that only three students in the public school system who took the SAT tests in the 2011-12 academic year scored high enough to qualify as college-ready, according to AP:

The new school superintendent in Camden, N.J., says it was a "kick-in-the-stomach moment" when he learned that only three district high school students who took the SAT in the 2011-12 school year scored as college-ready.

Remember that America spends more money per student on public education than any other major country.

According to the College Board, which markets the SAT, a college-ready score is essentially a score just above average on the standardized test's three sections (currently called critical reading, mathematics and writing).

Hat tip: Richard Baehr, who reminds us that Obama thinks everyone needs to go to college. There's work to be done in Camden.
